I don't need the stars, the moon
The world, if you bring me the sun
I can be the spark, the start of something
That you really want
I ain't hesitate
Your eyes see further than you really thought
And she don't need no space for me
She'll rather be where I'm at
No more, ain't no more
Nice and alone, 'cause I be right there with you
Can we share the same dreams if I be sleepin' with you?
Picture almost perfect, picture
Came from the skies, you brought a scripture
You sayin' you fly, I'm flyin' with you
If I get a minute, I spare it with you
Hmm, and you decide
if I'm your type of guy
open your eyes
I can be the one you turn to
(Wednesday vibes Pt.75)

“Lost in the Space” Today, as i sit down to write in this journal, Im struck by the realization of how often I’ve felt lost in life. Theres a certain discomfort that comes with feelings of unsure of where to go or what to do next. I always try my best to understand all these feelings. I couldnt. But amidst all the confusion and uncertainty, i’ve come to realize that being lost isn’t necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it can be a powerful catalyst for growth and self-discovery. I’ve discovered hidden passions and talents that i never knew i had.For example i always make people laugh without even realising it. Well, its not really a bad thing being lost right? So here i am, writing this journal while still feeling lost but also hopeful and determined. I may never fully shake off the sense of uncertainty that haunts me from time to time, But im learning to make peace and find solace in the journey itself, and to trust that wherever they lead. I’ll find my way eventually.

[Actually] Automating my life [daily]
Day 18 - Nov 23rd, 12.023
Another late post, another update on the workflow setup.
Today I worked on the daily files template/workflow, and compared to all, it is the simplest. Like I said in the previous update, the task organization is made on the weekly notes, and on the daily notes I just have to list them.
The "highlight" or what makes the daily notes more different is the routine tracker, which I already had in the previous workflow also, but now I tweaked some things: now the routines are all the same in all days (before I had one for work and free days); things like gym, reading and tasks which I don't do every day previously where part of the routine checklist, will be now just recurring tasks; the routine heatmap now is on every daily note, so I always see my progress on my routine, this is something which I didn't see very often because it was on a different note.
Another thing which is different on the daily notes is the Events section, for things like meetings, dates, and everything you would put on your calendar; and the Notes section, to be able to add info about a day if needed, like if something happened that day that stopped me to do my routine.
Tumblr media
Yes, the progress bar for some reason doesn't update every time, this is probably because of the combination of Obisdian Columns and Dataview which apparently screws up the rendering and or processing of the scripts. But it works in the end, and the progress bar is more of a decoration than something totally useful.
I also updated a little the weekly note, so now it has the progress bar and also lists all the events and notes of the week. Something which is really an improvement in these new templates is the more use of horizontal space, yes, it isn't something that plain markdown can make, and I'm using Obisdian Columns to render them, but it lets me see a lot more information on the screen on one go without scrolling than before, and I have a wide monitor, so why not take advantage of it y'know?
Tumblr media
And the template's code is this, it is a lot bigger because of the amount of info it needs to retrieve from the other periodic notes. And yes, the routine is called routines.work, even if I don't want to have more than one routine, it's better to have already the functionality of multiple, so I don't have to glue things together in the future (and you should expect this when I am a software developer and have anxiety, the most something is adaptable, the better).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
If you ever used Obsidian, with Periodic Notes and Templater, you probably stumbled upon creating a note in a day which isn't today, and when this happens, Periodic Note gets the date right, but Templater's JavaScript not. This is kinda obvious why, the template script is run when the file created and retrieves the date of the creation and not from the template's itself, so this "trick" just lets you use time manipulation in your template based on the actual template's date.
And that's it! I probably will take advantage that the week is ending to refactor the Monthly, Quarterly and Yearly notes' codes and logic, so it's easier to change in the future like the Weekly and Daily are, and probably recreate all my projects notes so the template and data is correct for the periodic notes. Hopefully next week I can actually start working and making use of the workflow.

Today's artists & creative things
Song: Aleph - by. Gesaffelstein This is probably the most different song I recommended based on style. I found it out of nowhere, just listening songs on random/radio of another song, and the beat of this and "mysterious vibe" got me by surprise. My mind on the first moment already started to imagine a video, something like a trailer for some obscure facility/series, following the beat and just giving a sense of uneasiness. So because of the inspiration it gave me, I recommend it, maybe you also imagine some sort of video or something to create to go along with the music.

Space Gesaffelstein Fanfiction
happy valentines dayyyyyy(tomorrow for me). I decided to write a drabble about platonic love, since it's very underrated! Space!Gesa is aroace! but he still shows love in selective and different ways! don't mind his aloofness!
Love. Amor. Amour.
Tumblr media
There’s a lot of definitions for love, just like art.
If you explained to him the traditional definition of love on Earth, he would be a little confused, awkward, and maybe at times distasteful.
 
He doesn’t understand the commotion humans make about it. Not entirely. The sickly affection and physicality of it all, the sweets, the poetry, the romance… what is the fuss? He didn’t even want to think about copulation. He never really considered having a life partner either way.
 
He’s had a partner in the past, but soon realized that he wasn’t fond of dynamic. The departure of the person was still painful, but here he was, starting a new day. He tilts his head down to the marble, pondering about the new knowledge of human love. Did every human feel this way? Apparently not. Gesaffelstein couldn’t tell if he was relieved or not. He then glances back to his sculptures, searching for the ones that represented past interactions, and how he felt with them. The departure was a prominent one, actually consisting of three stages. Doting, differences, then departure. How long has that been?
 
There were other interactions from others. One piece was of him looking up to another floating mini satellite representing a ship of some kind. Michel.
Michel was a being that traveled passed him. Gesaffelstein learned morse code from him. They both played their music through the radio signal Michel had. He remembered the last conversation they had in morse.
 
.-- .. .-.. .-.. / .-. . - ..- .-. -. --..-- / ... --- --- -. [Will return, soon.]
 
.--. .-.. . .- ... . / ... --- --- -. [Please soon.]
 
Gesaffelstein didn’t play music for the rest of his day, extra silent without his mutual. Now Michel, he was fond of. But not romantically. No, it wasn’t that kind of fondness. What was it.
The answer to a problem is almost always the easiest one. Friendship. Now, Gesaffelstein knows a little bit about friendship with the little experience he has, but he didn’t consider that friendship can have just as much depth and importance as romance. Friendship has its own intimacy. That, that is what he enjoyed. Selectively, of course. He still couldn’t handle multiple visitors or most visitors at all. Distress would crack through the planet, beams of light blasting at any intruders. Or maybe he sets the entirety of the planet’s temperature below freezing.
 
Another thing with Michel was that, Michel did not set foot on the land. Michel was a cautious man, as was Gesaffelstein. The larger satellite warned him at first despite the language being unreadable. And yet, Michel kept his distance. And despite the distance, the connection was strong. So, so strong. Gesaffelstein enjoyed it. He hoped all is well for Michel, and on occasion wonders when he would ever return.
 
If Gesaffelstein felt love, that was the kind of love he yearned for. Communication of depth, music, everything beyond his orbit. If Gesaffelstein felt love, he would say he would remain on standby until the very last hour before his mother’s supernova. He may not devote his everything for a being, but he’s someone to rely on. He cared. He may not be affectionate physically, no no. But perhaps his words were his strength. Any wisdom he had, he would share. He would sit down and write through someone’s tribulation. If someone could find peace in his still world, accompanied by melodic tunes and beeps, he wins.

REVIEWING THE CHARTS: 11/06/2022 (Post Malone’s ‘Twelve Carat Toothache’)
For a 10th week in a row, Harry Styles is at #1 with “As it Was” – welcome back to REVIEWING THE CHARTS!
Tumblr media
Rundown
This is actually a pretty slow week thankfully, with only Post Malone to really worry about, but that doesn’t necessarily mean there won’t be anything to cover, as there was a decent amount of movement within the chart. Of course, we start with the notable dropouts, songs exiting the UK Top 75 – which is what I cover – after five weeks in the region or a peak in the top 40. Sure, “Levitating” by Dua Lipa exiting isn’t a surprise considering how easily it can come back, but we also have “Charmer” by N-Dubz only lasting two weeks and “Prince Andrew is a Sweaty Nonce” only lasting one, with both being expected, but the latter being a bit disappointing. In terms of long-term losses, we can say farewell to “Black Beatles” by D-Block Europe, “Everything’s Electric” by Liam Gallagher, “MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT” by Elley Duhé and finally, “Used to This” by Wilkinson and Issey Cross, which is a shame since I think it could have gotten higher than #33 but it had a long run.
What’s unique about this week is the amount of returning entries, which is kind of sizeable. Two are songs that will move in and out like “Save Your Tears” by The Weeknd at #72 and “Finesse” by Pheelz and BNXN, but we do have two unique stories, those being “Shotgun” by George Ezra at #75 thanks to residual album hype and “God Save the Queen” by the Sex Pistols boosted to #57 thanks to a jubilee-themed re-release. It’s a pretty weak Sex Pistols cut and that’s even by their standards, so I’m not thrilled it’s back but the message still lands decades later. Our notable gains – songs up at least five spots from last week – are also kind of interesting, as we have “Stay the Night” by Sigala and Talia Mar at #56, “Churchill Downs” by Jack Harlow featuring Drake at #52 thanks to the video, “House on Fire” by Mimi Webb at #44, “Don’t Forget My Love” by Diplo and Miguel at #35, “Last Last” by Burna Boy entering the top 40 at #29 (I’m really kind of baffled with this one), “Cooped Up” by Post Malone featuring Roddy Ricch getting the album boost to #18 (it should be concerning that this is Post’s highest-charting song), “Afraid to Feel” by LF SYSTEM zooming up off of the debut to #13, “Green Green Grass” by George Ezra entering the top 10 at #9 (joy) and finally... well, that’s when we get to our top five.
Our top five this week, bottom to top, consists of “SPACE MAN” by Sam Ryder surging up to #5, “About Damn Time” by Lizzo at #4, “Go” by Cat Burns and, just missing the top, “Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)” by Kate Bush at #2, with “As it Was” of course at the top. Now, before we get to our new arrivals, I’m going to discuss some albums that didn’t make an impact on the singles chart – and you may notice a trend with most of these.
Off the Charts
EGOT the EP – CyHi
I wanted to give Kanye’s protégé turned ghostwriter a chance on this EP that CyHi, I suppose no longer “the Prynce”, put out but this just feels embarrassing. Sure, CyHi still has a recognisably raspy voice and his flow isn’t awful, but none of the hooks click and CyHi’s brand of vaguely introspective flexing and punchline bars don’t sound as interesting on here as they have on features prior, probably due to the really sub-par production where each beat is as stiff and as generic as the next. My favourite track is “Help Me God”, but that’s not saying much as I didn’t like anything here.
Get Used to It – KayCyy
Again, I really wanted to give another one of Kanye’s protégés turned ghostwriters a chance, but for an album running at nine short tracks, barely below 30 minutes, you’d think it went by at least a little bit quicker. Gesaffelstein is nowhere to be seen on production here unlike KayCyy’s last project, which leaves a lot of this feeling oddly generic, and lacking in the unique department that KayCyy was able to ride pretty effortlessly. Ironically, on more standard pop-trap production, he sounds awkward and stiff. That’s not to say any of the features really shine here either, it just feels very bog-standard, which is kind of the case for a lot of these new releases. My favourite track is “Look What I Found” with Lancey Foux.
Chronophage – Chronophage
This feels like the definition of standard indie rock. It’s well-made, sure, but to the sacrifice of character and whilst I do see some new rave energy in tracks like “Burst the Shell” or pretty compelling songwriting in the catchy “Summer to Fall”, both my favourite tracks here, the rest is pretty rote filler that isn’t dynamic enough for it to all come together. It’s fully okay, and I think someone who is more into their indie rock could enjoy it, but it’s not for me.
You Can’t Kill Me – 070 Shake
Okay, so for the final time, I wanted to give Kanye’s protégé turned ghostwriter a chance and it actually worked out because this is a great album. Sure, it’s far from perfect since there is some filler and some of both the writing and production can feel at times non-descript, but throughout the vast majority of this project, with a really unique sound in alternative R&B, where Shake feels simultaneously hollow and distant as much as she is intimate, and given the cover art shows them faceless... that may just be part of the point here, to undermine all of the poetic romances, warning that the longing closeness will eventually become a distant obsession. The strings sound unnatural and MIKE DEAN’s production is once again pretty otherworldly, with Shake’s weird way of making voice cracks and bizarre inflections work completely. It ends on a bit of a sour note which is unfortunate because the middle part of this album is legitimately excellent and one of the more nuanced, if cryptic, R&B albums I’ve listened to this year. My favourite track is “Body” with Christine and the Queens. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming...
NEW ARRIVALS
#71 – “Lonely Heart” – Europa (Jax Jones and Martin Solveig) and GRACEY
Produced by Jax Jones and Martin Solveig
Whilst often charting on their own, EDM DJs Jax Jones – from London – and Martin Solveig – from Paris – also team up as part of Europa, an alias that the two producers have released just three songs under. Their previous hits “All Day and Night” and “Tequila” hit the top 25, despite being really uninteresting and not all that different from what Jax Jones is doing – sadly, Solveig’s more melodic and anthemic form of house isn’t in right now so he seems to take a backseat. Maybe this new single is destined for the same success and well, I can’t say it won’t be a hit, but I can say that GRACEY sounds faceless over an instrumental that really could have done without having any vocals on it, as I kind of like it a lot if I’m completely honest. Sure, the stuttering vocals work well with the flubbering synth bass but that doesn’t make it any less annoying in the chorus, which is a shame because the tension here builds to a point that is both effective and not anti-climactic like most slap house, because expectations aren’t risen too high. What we do get instead is a more muted piano loop, a slightly subdued yet still pumping kick, as well as a uniquely tight perc in the drum pattern that adds some needed groove. The ominous tone of the warbling synth bass in that drop feels like it was cathartic but in a bizarrely ineffective way that kind of endears it to me, especially when it brings in the casual Y2K-era guitar loop: it all sounds reminiscent and desperate, which is fitting for the content that is a typical post-breakup track. This isn’t all that compelling as a full song, but I guess it doesn’t need to be, and if anything, I’m kind of excited to hear remixes of this, as it is decent and it may as well grow on me from here. For Jax Jones, that’s pretty impressive.
#63 – “Vegas” – Doja Cat
Produced by Yeti Beats and Rogét Chahayed
Okay, so you make a movie about Elvis Presley – aptly titled ELVIS – and for the soundtrack single with Doja Cat, you sample the original 1953 song by Big Mama Thornton instead of his version? To be fair, the original is probably better and I can imagine that Doja Cat would prefer to rap over beats that sample the black woman he covered and made famous rather than the gentrified, pop-friendly version, though I’m not sure that would fit what this film is trying to say, which we’ll see when it comes out. Naturally, we have some modern re-interpretations of Elvis songs from people like Eminem, Kacey Musgraves and Swae Lee, but Doja Cat’s is the pre-soundtrack release that actually charted. What surprised me about this is how organic a mix this was for a trap beat, with the stock horns and filtered sample vocals, as well as a slightly creepy show tune piano that all get hammered by the kicks and 808s, whilst Doja rants about this guy similar to the original track. Given that “Hound Dog” is comically accusing a man to be obsessed with sex, Doja’s bars about this guy that peaked in high school and is crawling back despite not being “the man” are pretty confidently delivered... so why isn’t it clicking with me? Well, part of it might be Doja’s flow and cadence that seems to slip around the beat rather than fully lay on top of it, which would work in a context other than this, where she’s supposed to be a bit more domineering. As it is, I’m not sure she can keep up with the sample in the chorus as she coos more, and her zanier delivery in the second verse, where I’m pretty sure she outright kills the dude, just doesn’t ramp up enough energy. The odd censorship might hurt it as well, as a lot of the bite is taken out of it by the inconsistent muting, especially the flow actually starts to gain momentum. There’s definitely a lot of potential here, but with a kind of unchanging beat, it just doesn’t get there for me.
#61 – “Distraction” – Polo G
Produced by CuBeatz and Southside
Polo G took a couple months off – seemingly all he’s willing to take – and is back with a new lead single, and lyrically, it shows some promise. Polo G has always had a conscious tinge to the gang violence and paranoia, and with the addition of increased fame over the past few years, it’s gotten even more compelling, as was shown in “RAPSTAR” from last year which did grow on me. Sadly, this may have been a moment where Polo G realised the formula, as I do think a lot of ground is re-tread. That’s not to say there isn’t depth here, as the first verse talking about how he still has friends in the hood who are prone to violence but keeps them because loyalty is more important to him than a couple bodies is pretty compelling and honestly quite sad... but the second verse is more gang violence and paranoia without much depth to it all. As for the instrumental, we have your typical Polo G acoustic guitar loop accompanied by a somewhat awkward trap beat that is definitely not Southside’s best work, considering how slapped-on those 808 bass hits feel, as well as some unfitting synth flares and an overall atmosphere that fits for the content, but doesn’t allow Polo G to do much with his flow, as he just has his typical vaguely melodic cadence with frequent punch-ins, which by the end of the second verse sounds exhausted and bored, with the chorus not really having much to differ from the verses. If an AI were to be fed Polo G songs and tasked to produce an average, I think it’d sound like this, which is a shame because, once again, the potential is here.
#47 – “I Ain’t Worried” – OneRepublic
Produced by Simon Oscroft, Tyler Spry, Brent Kutzle and Ryan Tedder
I really didn’t think OneRepublic would still be trying to have hits, considering that if I were Ryan Tedder, I’d just live off of “Counting Stars” royalties for life – as he probably can – and then write a few songs for people here and there. The situation unfolded a bit more clearly when I realised two things, however: firstly, this song was made for the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack, so it’s not necessarily a lead single. Secondly, it samples “Young Folks”, a 2006 song by Swedish indie pop group Peter Bjorn and John, which I didn’t recognise initially... until I heard that iconic whistling melody that I’d hear many a time elsewhere in advertisements and soundtracks. OneRepublic did come, vaguely, from the late 2000s pop rock scene – if you can call it that – so it makes sense they’d crib from a folkish tune, even if that song is probably better than anything OneRepublic has ever done. With that said, I was curious to what they did with the sample... and it turns out that the whistle was actually re-arranged to fit with Tedder’s vocal melody that reminds me more of Tame Impala’s “The Less I Know the Better” than it does of “Young Folks”. It’s not a bad flip though, and I do think the bass and drums make for a decent groove, at least before the chorus where the multi-tracking and awkward pitch-shifting sounds messily layered over Ryan Tedder, whose falsetto isn’t awful but was not made for a high-paced, carefree song like this that doesn’t exactly pull off the fearless tone it wants to. It’s a completely fine single though, and honestly more than I expected from both a soundtrack song and a track that samples “Young Folks” – the delayed drop of the final chorus is a level of intricacy I was not expecting, even if it’s simple: I was half-expecting for the whistle melody to just be layered on a trap beat and lazily sung over. So, good job, guys, I guess? This week so far is full of missed potential... and given that our last two songs are from Post Malone, this trend doesn’t seem like it’ll be fading.
#40 – “Lemon Tree” – Post Malone
Produced by Post Malone, Louis Bell and Charlie Handsome
Twelve Carat Toothache is kind of a mess. It feels transitional or even unfinished in the terms of Post’s career, as he clearly puts not nearly enough effort into either the rap or pop cuts on here, which feel phoned in and honestly really bitter and pissy in a way that doesn’t flatter the stiff grooves drenched in insane amounts of reverb. In stark contrast, the more experimental and honest balladry typically has Post kind of hitting it out the park, with songwriting that may be on-the-nose but is at least more profound than starting off the second verse on “Insane” by repeating “second verse” four times. A mess is what I expected, and given that the theatrical and wistful “Wasting Angels” with The Kid LAROI genuinely sounds excellent, I got at least something good out of this record, which with some refinement that his label doesn’t seem all too willing to give him, it could have been a lot better (though I don’t think that would have prevented the #3 album from underperforming). I know a lot of people did not like “Lemon Tree”, but we actually have two sides of the album debuting, and this song is pretty great. Sure, the “lemon tree” metaphor is far from new or unique but the depressing sing-songy tone makes Post sound absolutely hopeless and frustrated over the wonky synths that scape around the distant chanting and honestly crappy-sounding acoustic guitars with as much faux twang as some of Post’s pronunciations here. I don’t really like how echoed the kick drum is when it comes in, but it adds some needed tension to the song to make time really feel like it’s catching up to him, so it’s not a complete whine and there’s something desperate here. It doesn’t entirely capture what songs like “Love/Hate Letter to Alcohol” do, but it’s one of the best tracks on that album, and I’m glad it’s charting, even if it absolutely will not last. Sadly, the next song from Post is on the other side of the spectrum.
#19 – “I Like You (A Happier Song)” – Post Malone and Doja Cat
Produced by Louis Bell and Jasper Harris
I don’t like to be this straight-forward but... this is ass. We get a monotone “cutesy” piano lead drenched in too much reverb to sound relaxing at all, a scratchier drum beat that feels like it’s taking wholesale from the same West Coast bounce as “Cooped Up” but sounding even stiffer, and not fitting any of the delivery. Sure, you could call the chorus from Post cute or fun, but his warbling just sounds silly on a more lighthearted song here, with an exhausted delivery that really shows how little Post cares about pop songs like this. It’s telling that he strains more when the darker bass hits at the end of the first verse hit and he’s able to warn Doja about incoming betrayal, and he sounds like he actually cares. Doja sounds even weedier and more nasal than usual, and I like the cooed harmonising in the chorus, especially with the retro-sounding synths, but the verse is dull and non-descript. Also, what is with Post and half-written, malformed bridges this album cycle? Once it gets into the wonkier, basically future bass beat in the outro, it actually sounds like it has some character with the flute... but then it ends, and Doja doesn’t even rap on that beat which sounds a lot more fitting for her tones. I hope this doesn’t stick around, even if I’m generally rooting for Post even with a worse album than his last, because I can see why this failed and I don’t think it’s largely his fault... but knowing the charts, this’ll be the song they make the hit. I guess Fleet Foxes are too beyond the UK public.
Conclusion
Fittingly for the quality of the album, Post Malone is getting both extremes here, with “Lemon Tree” as Best of the Week and “I Like You (A Happier Song)” with Doja Cat as the Worst of the Week. Maybe that says more about me than it does the music itself. As for the Honourable Mentions and Dishonourable Mentions, I can’t really say anything is either that great or even close to bad here, so take it with a grain of salt when I give “Distraction” by Polo G the Dishonourable Mention and... I can’t really believe I’m saying this, but Jax Jones, Martin Solveig and GRACEY the Honourable Mention for “Lonely Heart”. As for next week, I can’t really see much of interest disrupting the charts so for now, thank you for reading and I’ll see you next week!
